Like others have said, Natalie is often in my thoughts, and her horrendous death has haunted me. This is no kind of justice. Is there nothing that can be done? This man will undoubtedly kill again.

Unbelievable. Shame on our justice system. It makes me feel ill.

Love, strength and peace to her family. Flowers

One of the worst cases I've ever read. He is a sadistic psychopath. What he did to her is abhorrent. And how he left her. If he was from a poor background the outcome would have been very different. Appalling.

Agree with all previous posters. Can not believe Natalie's life was ended like this & the bastard has not been held accountable. Absolutely atrocious.

Oh god she is often in my thoughts how can this be justice? SadAngry

I hope her family & friends can find peace & that scum never knows any.

I think about this poor woman often. I still can't believe what this man did to her and how he's pretty much got away with it. Natalie didn't deserve this, her child didn't deserve this and her family didn't deserve this. What has happened here is absolutely outrageous and utterly appalling. There are no words I can find to say how angry this makes me, how can this happen? At the time I wrote to the Attorney General asking for his sentence to be reviewed, as did many many others and that was ignored. This surely has to be one of the biggest miscarriages of justice, I'm not a vengeful person but I can only hope he never has a day of peace and has an ending just as awful as Natalie's was. He deserves nothing more.

This sadistic thug should spend decades behind bars. It is a travesty that he is being released. The sentence is an outrage. It is unbelievable that he was able to use the absurd defense he used. Natalie was murdered and then betrayed by the legal system. This is abhorrent.

MoltenLasagne · 01/10/2020 20:43

Jesus, 22 months, its an absolute travesty. How was this ever considered an acceptable sentence? How could guidelines around sentencing be able to go so low?

I'd like to hear what the MPs who abolished the death penalty would say about this. They promised the public that even without the death penalty that murder would mean life in prison. 60 years later and instead it means 22 months.

This is horrific. It boils my piss this is justice in Britain in 2020.

He murdered her. He stepped over her dead or dying body to go to bed. And he attempted to clean her up. Murdering scum.

ChattyLion · 01/10/2020 20:14

This is awful. A complete travesty. I am glad Natalie’s MP Mark Garnier has given such a sensible quote on this, but surely there must be more that can be done legally? Her poor child and family.

QualityFeet · 01/10/2020 20:12

Actually I hope they do get some solace from the law change. It all just so awful.

EvenSupposing · 01/10/2020 20:12

Her poor fucking family. And her. Obviously her.

QualityFeet · 01/10/2020 20:12

Poor her and her poor family. It makes me feel vengeful; I can’t imagine how they must feel.

Nackajory · 01/10/2020 20:11

Shocking. Wealthy male priviledge v female vulnerability. Its beyond belief.

StrangeLookingParasite · 01/10/2020 20:09

22 months. That's all the judiciary think she was worth. Sickening.

EvenSupposing · 01/10/2020 20:07

I can't even... Sad

Why are our lives worth so little? Angry

Poppyisa · 01/10/2020 20:04

That is devastating for Natalies family, and for any of us that care about justice. Gosh what that poor woman must have suffered.

SerenityNowwwww · 01/10/2020 20:02

And he won’t be on a sex offenders register? His next partner could potentially just not know about this - my god.

How could a life be so cheap - he didn’t run her over with his car in an accident, or rent her a flat with a dodgy boiler - she died at his hands, face to face in the most horrific way.
